He rejoined The Ambassadors for another year at their 3D department before he was hired by Double Negative in London as a FX TD on Man of Steel. To kickstart his Houdini career he took a six month internship with Side Effects in Toronto, where he made a significant contribution to the development of the FLIP solver as it is in H12.

While working at The Ambassadors VFX in Amsterdam, Nick stumbled upon Houdini in 2008 and devoted every minute he could spare to learn the software using any available source, including fxphd. However, via work on this project, you will get solid insights into how it all works and will certainly make you appreciate the enormous FX simulations even more when you know how labor and computationally intensive those effects actually are. This course is not intended to recreate that pipeline in a mere ten classes. It is important to remember that feature films use many in-house tools and very extensive RenderFarms to put these enormous effects on screen.

This is a course aimed at those who feel comfortable in Houdini but are looking to extend their skills. In the process we will use quite a few advanced techniques which we will tackle step by step.

The majority of the course covers a project where we create a full CG shot of a boat on a rough sea. This course covers the Ocean FX tools, how they work and gives an insight in when to use the right tool. Though as prof Nick Nimble found there are still quite a few hurdles you have to take if you want to put a boat on an ocean. Easy to use shelf-tools allow one click setups of complicated networks. With the release of Houdini 13.0 SideFX has extended their Ocean FX tools that were introduced in H12.5.
